Do you mean the handbag and wallet? :D

The wallet will get here first. I hope I don't have to wait too long for the bag...
I'm sure I will be over the moon when I have them both! :):):)

So I called again for the results of the poop study... nobody bothered to call Boston to check up on the report. The medical assistant said the hospital "should" have the gastro's office's correct contact info...
I asked her to call and check on that, and see if she could get the report, but she said right now their faxes are down :mad:

UGH, Kay to bad they aren't caring anymore than they do. But hopefully
somewhere the faxes are running and they can get the thing.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

Yeah, and don't forget this is the same doctor's office that forgot about me for 3 weeks after an x-ray showed I still had 11 Sitz markers in me after 10 days...

Yesterday I managed to clean the bathroom, with the exception of the floor. I had to keep taking breaks to sit or lay down, so it took me forever. I made the mistake of starting with the tub/shower first, which is the hardest thing to do. If I started with the sink and toilet, I could have blown that big job off.
The apartment is still a total mess, but I feel better just having done SOMETHING.

I have pool PT today. I'm not exactly thrilled about going, but going is a good thing. I need to go regularly, and I had to skip my last appointment because I had the halter monitor on. They only gave me two exercises to do at home to help with my foot drop, but I'm not getting anywhere with them.

I will try to go get my earrings put back in when I'm done with that.

My new wallet is supposed to be here on Saturday. It's hard to get too excited because I don't expect my new bag to arrive until Wednesday.

I hope your wallet turns out what you were hoping for!

Still no test results!!!
I will call the gastro AGAIN on Monday. If I don't hear back, I'm gonna hit the roof. The medical assistant should have at least called me back, or sent me a message via the patient portal, to let me know what the hold up is, since I called to get the results Monday AND Thursday morning.

The date of the visit summary for the day I came in to have the echo and the halter monitor put on was changed from May 31st to June 8th. I think that may mean that the report is ready, but it's not available online. Maybe I will hear something from someone in my PCP's office on Monday. IDK.
I really can't imagine that I have any cardiac issues tho. I think I may have said this before... but I don't think anyone at 37yo is unlucky enough to have so many medical problems.

Pool PT was hard yesterday! I really got a workout!
Afterwards, I went and got my cartilage earrings put back in, and ran a couple of quick errands. So... I did to much (AGAIN).
When I laid down for my nap, my legs were really spasming, and I didn't do anything about it. So, even tho I ended up passing out because I was exhausted, I didn't sleep well.

I tried a different kind of pot last night. It didn't last long enough, and I started waking up in the early morning hours again. I guess I have to smoke more of it, and/or grind it with something else.

So far this morning, my shortness of breath is much better. I hope that that continues throughout the day.
I'm in rough shape physically tho. But that's my fault for not speaking up when the PT exercises got to be a bit too much for me, and not going directly home afterwards.

I let Corey know that we have to do laundry this weekend. He's just thrilled, but it's time. We can't put it off until next weekend because it's Father's Day and we will be going out, and Corey will want a day off to relax.

I went to the Hallmark store to buy my Father's Day cards yesterday. Usually I forget, and try to find them at the 11th hour when all the good ones are gone... glad to have it over with early this year.

I just got my father his card also, last night.
I put a gift card to carrobas where they can use it at several restuarants;
out back or bonefish grill too.
I should come up with a gift for him...I am terrible at gifts.

hope you get a good nap in today.

The wallet arrived, and I know it will NOT match my new handbag (pictures can be deceiving), so I will be returning it... I hate returning things.
I ended buying a wallet that is a different style than what I normally buy from the website I bought the bag from because I know it will match. I probably should have done it in the first place, especially since with shipping, it turned out to be $20 cheaper. I'm ridiculous lol.

I was having the most trouble with the shortness of breath, dizziness, and lightheadedness early in the morning, but it seems like it's happening later now. I don't know why. But I ended up having to lay down (without having even brushed my teeth) just before noon yesterday and didn't wake up until almost 5.

We will be doing laundry today. I hope that I will be feeling okay. At least Corey will be with me tho, so I won't be alone.
Like last time, I will be jamming as much s- into those two bags as I can. This time it's not sheets I need washed, it's towels. We don't have a TON of clothes this time, so I hope to be able to get at least two sets in.

do you have a blood pressure monitor?
low blood pressure symptomms
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Nausea
Fainting (syncope)
Dehydration and unusual thirst
Dehydration can sometimes cause blood pressure to drop. However, dehydration does not always cause low blood pressure. Fever, vomiting, severe diarrhea, overuse of diuretics and strenuous exercise can all lead to dehydration, a potentially serious condition in which your body loses more water than you take in. Even mild dehydration (a loss of as little as 1 percent to 2 percent of body weight) can cause weakness, dizziness and fatigue.
Lack of concentration
Blurred vision
Cold, clammy, pale skin
Rapid, shallow breathing
Fatigue
Depression

I have a good reliable blood pressure monitor with an arm cuff. My blood pressure is good. It's usually 100-130/60-75. My pulse usually runs 90+. It's been normal for me lately...
I've taken my BP after I've had symptoms, but I wait about 5 minutes after I sit down to take it (shorter than normal), and it goes HIGHER not LOWER, especially the diastolic pressure (the bottom number) for some reason, but my pulse stays in the same range. When I take it ten minutes later, it usually goes back to normal. That's not characteristic of dehydration.

We did the laundry yesterday. Corey was slightly more pleasant than he was the last 2 times, and did more folding this time. I guess he figured out the more he folded, the quicker we would get out of there lol. I wasn't up to putting all the clean clothes away yesterday, so I will have to do that today.

I have my Tysabri infusion today. My appointment isn't until 1pm, and I'm not happy about it. I'll be there for at least 2 hours, and will have to fight traffic on the way home. I probably won't be able to take a nap. I will have to let them know that I need earlier appointments in the future.

I am hoping to get some friggen results today!!! Some good results would be welcome...
